Alex Ritza Chiropractic

Recently visited Dr. Alex with bruised rib — wasn’t a common injury but he pretty much took it up as a challenge on day one and after 4 visits, I’m almost pain free. He not only provides great service to treat current condition but also showed me exercise routines to strengthen the muscles to prevent future injuries. He also has GREAT bedside manners :)

I am an actor and was in Toronto for a few months working on a production. The show I was working on was a highly physical one and I would constantly suffer from joint pain and muscle fatigue. I had a friend suggest seeing a chiropractor about my injuries but I was highly skeptical. The pain became a lot to deal with on a day-​to-​day basis and I decided to hold my skepticism and meet with someone. Dr. Ritza came well recommended so I met with him to discuss what I was going through. During our consultation he recommended electro-​acupuncture as a way to help ease the pain. I had always been a bit taken back by the practice of acupuncture (let alone «electro-​acupuncture) but decided that it was worth a try.
Dr. Ritza explained everything to me from a medical perspective but in a practical way that I could understand it. I never saw how using a needle on the skin could stimulate an effect in my muscles but after breaking down the cause and effect behind it I fully trusted the practice of acupuncture as legitimate. Dr. Ritza explained to me that I may not see results right away but I should not let that get me discouraged. Fortunately enough, I began seeing results, to a small extent, the very next day. I proceeded to see Dr. Ritza twice a week for about a month. As the weeks progressed I felt the muscles around my knee to be stronger and that the pain had subsided a great deal because of it.
After being happy with my progression Dr. Ritza suggested to take a few weeks off from having a session to see how I would maintain. I was weary about doing this after being so confident about the results I had been having but he assured me that I could schedule an appointment at any time if I needed it and he made his email available to me if I had any questions or concerns. The knowledge Dr. Ritza showed and the quality of care he provided was first class. His personality and demeanor made him incredibly approachable. I would recommend Dr. Ritza to anyone experiencing the same kind of trouble I was having. Even if you find yourself skeptical about chiropractic practice or the use of acupuncture I urge you to at least schedule an appointment with Dr. Ritza first. You won’t be disappointed.
